‘Outer Banks’ Star Austin North Arrested After Attacking ER Hospital Staff
Austin North was arrested in Las Vegas after allegedly attacking several hospital employees to the point that he needed to be restrained, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The Outer Banks star, 27, was booked for gross misdemeanor battery this week after allegedly punching one ER nurse in the head, shoving another in the face, and pushing a phlebotomist.
But the story gets even stranger.
Law enforcement was dispatched to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC) for reports of assault and battery happening in the ER. The police report obtained by TMZ gave a play-by-play of what allegedly went down, with North’s alleged victims talking to the responding officers.
The nurses and phlebotomist claimed the actor began attacking them out of nowhere. They told cops that North started throwing fists and shoving them for no reason, according to the report.
After he allegedly nailed one nurse, shoved another in the face, and pushed the person who draws blood, security officers reportedly restrained him — but he wasn’t done, the alleged victims told police.
North was accused of attacking another person, but the Netflix star wasn’t the only person who got in a few blows.
During the reported scuffle with the phlebotomist, the hospital worker allegedly smacked North over the head with a tray in self-defense.
North was booked for gross misdemeanor battery — which could hold a longer jail time or fine if convicted since it’s battery on a healthcare provider, an officer, a cab driver, a school employee, etc.
